Hi Brian,
Txs for being persistent !
Apparently I made an error when building the new Gardener group.
Adding members to the group needs to be done by separating the names with a
carriage return. (as indicated in the text)
However, I added the members by separating them with a comma.
Actually, I copied the Admin group when creating the Gardener group. (the
list contains COMMA's)
Unfortunately, JSPWiki doesn't throw an error for this incorrect entry.
I did fix the group now.
Please try again, you should be ok to edit pages with the GARDENER ACL.
Also you should be able to modify the GARDENER group.
Best regards,
dirk
